Leviticus 25:29

29 qui vendiderit domum intra urbis muros habebit licentiam redimendi donec unus impleatur annus

Leviticus 25:29 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 25:29

And if a man sell a dwelling house in a walled city
Which was so from the days of Joshua the son of Nun, as Jarchi:

then he may redeem it within a whole year after it is sold:
any time within the year he pleased, either he or any near of kin to him; and if they would, on the day it was sold, or any time after within the compass of the year, even on the day in which the year ended; in this such an house differed from fields, which could not be redeemed under two years, (See Gill on Leviticus 25:15);

[within] a full year may he redeem it;
from the time it was sold, paying what it was sold for: this is to be understood, Maimonides ^F8 says, of a solar year, which consists of three hundred sixty five days, and within this space of time such an house might be redeemed.

Leviticus 25:29 In-Context

27 conputabuntur fructus ex eo tempore quo vendidit et quod reliquum est reddet emptori sicque recipiet possessionem suam

28 quod si non invenerit manus eius ut reddat pretium habebit emptor quod emerat usque ad annum iobeleum in ipso enim omnis venditio redit ad dominum et ad possessorem pristinum

29 qui vendiderit domum intra urbis muros habebit licentiam redimendi donec unus impleatur annus

30 si non redemerit et anni circulus fuerit evolutus emptor possidebit eam et posteri eius in perpetuum et redimi non poterit etiam in iobeleo

31 sin autem in villa fuerit domus quae muros non habet agrorum iure vendetur si ante redempta non fuerit in iobeleo revertetur ad dominum
